Keyboard Shortcuts to speed up productivity in Microsoft Word

Coming from a design based 'copy/paste' background I use keyboard shortcuts for pretty much everything I do. My wife however seldom does and is always impressed when she watches me use my PC and I naviagte around the screen and execute actions without ever clicking a mouse. Keybaord shortcuts, I would say, speed up my work and productivity by a good 10%.

In the below table I’ve put together some of my favourite keyboard shortcut for Microsoft Word. Some you may know – some you may not, and I would be very interested to hear any more that you use that you would like to see added to the list.
